[ROM] [Unofficial] [LineageOS 14.1] [Verizon] [d2vzw] [SCH-I535]

[damianesteves]

Just flashed this on my S3 coming from Cyanogen (it had been a while since I'd booted it up last). No issues so far. Thanks for putting these up!

 

[Sudosftw]

Just tried to install this via safestrap 4.01 on an SGS3 given to me by a friend. it bootloops at the samsung screen and doesn't allow anything past that.
is this ROM only meant for devices pre-kitkat without safestrap? Can it be modified to actually boot FROM safestrap?

Custom Firmwares, like this one, can only be installed on devices with unlocked Bootloaders.

SafeStrap is used for rooted devices with a locked bootloader.

Makes no sense to me. I have a Droid 4 and Razr both with safestrap and those can adequately run Lineage 14.1 without a hitch using safestrap. both have a locked bootloader.
I don't understand what the problem is with this specific phone that makes it impossible to run custom ROMs from within safestrap. does this version of safestrap not try to coax the bootloader that the kernel is being updated? that's how the OMAP4 Droids all are able to get their ROMs working.

Makes no sense to me....

I never stated that it's not possible for all devices...

I was just stating, in a friendly manner, that It's NOT possible for this specific device.

Good Luck!

Safestrap only supports TouchWiz based ROMs

Just an FYI for those who may not be aware...

There's actually an update available for the d2vzw devices on the Official TWRP website to "v3.2.2-0"...

Enjoy!

Thank for helping me keep my S3 running still my daily driver since preordered. Been on Octo for awhile but its no longer being updated, so I was worried I was going to have to find a new device. As my wife has gone thru 9 ( yes nine) devices since I got my bulletproof S3 . I just don't know what else is out there for a rooting tinkering old fart like me. Hopefully, its tired old bones can handle a few more flashes and wipes. Will get setup to flash this coming weekend and let you know how it goes. Before I forget , is there a kernel you suggest or is the included one good to play with. I teither a lot and slow down my CPU just abit for temp. Thanks

Try updating the TWRP Recovery first to the New Release v3.2.2-0 from their Official Website first.

I, personally, feel that this LineageOS build has improved a bit after I had updated TWRP but, nobody can guarantee for anything that what works for one will work for all.

I'm not the developer for this Unofficial LineageOS development but, @mjb32803 is the developer and is extremely helpful regarding support.

The lack of member posts here could mean that this LineageOS is either flawless or not very well known around the d2vzw community (I'd like to think that it's the first one).

Good Luck and let the developer know how it works out for you!

Works for Android 4.4?

Does this build of LineageOS work on the SCH-I535 with Android 4.4.x, or only for 4.3 and lower?

This can only be used on the SCH-I535 devices that have Unlocked Bootloaders and a Custom Recovery installed.

If your on the Stock Android v4.4.x and your device isn't already Bootloader Unlocked with a Custom Recovery, then all you can use is a TW Based Firmware that's just a Customized Stock Firmware.

Sorry...

I'm in the planning stage to buy an S3. In order to run LineageOS, do I need an I535 with less than Android 4.3, or is 4.3 ok? I have read several full threads on the subject, but it's still not clear to me.

It can't be any higher than the firmware version "I535VRBMF1" (the first release of Android v4.1.2) that was released on 08-Jun-2013.

For you to get a better idea, take a look at the Chart image at the top of the OP on the following thread.

This is super helpful. I think I've located a phone with the correct firmware, but as a backup option, it looks to me by reading a couple threads including the one link you posted, that even if I get a phone with a later firmware than "I535VRBMF1" I could just use Odin to flash an older bootloader and firmware on the I535. Is this correct, or incorrect?

I believe that the MF1 wasn't always able to do this with a 75% +/- success rate. I didn't mention the MF1 because I didn't want you to get an MF1 device and end up in that 25% +/- group making me feel bad that I advised you on this.

Going for the MF1 isn't a horrible choice but, this is up to you... :thumbup:

Good Luck!

New Build Available

Download instruction in first post.
July security patches did not show up yet in this build.
Been running smooth and stable on my S3 for a day.

 

[mjb32803]

I haven't seen anyone maintaining a custom kernel that has been kept up to date. The phone works so well with the stock lineage kernel, I'd be hesitant to tinker.

I agree with you!

I can't remember the last time I had even thought about a Custom Kernel.
